What should I do if I regret having dental veneers? Can dental veneers be repaired?

Dental veneers are a very expensive cosmetic technique, and there are many different types of materials used. The key to dental veneers lies in the choice of materials, which is crucial.

What to do if you regret having dental veneers

If you regret having dental veneers, there is nothing you can do about it. Once a tooth is worn away, it cannot grow back. It is an irreversible process. In addition, dental veneers actually wear down the teeth to a relatively small extent, so they do not cause much damage to the teeth. In general, the aesthetics of the teeth will be improved after veneers are done. As long as you have regular checkups at a regular hospital and the fit is good, it will not affect your life or health, so there is no need to worry or regret excessively.

Will dental veneers fall off easily?

Generally, when making veneers on normal teeth, 0-0.8mm of tooth tissue will be ground off the surface of the teeth. (Some patients do not need to grind when making ultra-thin porcelain veneers.) At this time, the enamel is bonded. Enamel bonding is much better than dentin bonding. You can rest assured that as long as the patient seeks the help of a professional doctor in a regular dental clinic and can maintain it seriously, there will generally be no problem using it for more than ten years.

How many teeth should be veneered?

It usually takes about a week to make dental veneers, and it takes the same amount of time no matter how many teeth you have. Dental veneers are a new technology for teeth whitening, used to cover up bad tooth color. Therefore, the number of dental veneers you have depends on how many teeth you have that have bad color.

Dental Veneers Misconceptions

Myth 1

The price per piece should not be too expensive

Many patients who want to beautify their teeth often think that the price of veneers is the price of materials. A more beautiful veneer restoration includes not only the cost of veneer materials, but also the labor cost of the factory production. More importantly, the doctor's bonding technology level cannot be ignored.

First of all, veneer bonding is actually a test of the doctor's professional proficiency and requires a mature medical background. It should be noted that it takes an average of five to eight years to train a dentist, and a lot of clinical training. This ensures that the veneer is successfully covered on the original tooth, which does not affect your oral health and ensures the beauty of the lips.

Secondly, veneer repair also requires medical adhesives, which have good biocompatibility and will not affect human health, and the price is also high. Of course, these are also included in the cost.

Myth 2

It's not worth it if the veneer will break

Some people think: Does the product manual of veneer describe that the product is strong in pressure resistance? Why does the problem of porcelain stretching still occur? Have you heard the saying that water dripping wears away stone? Yes, veneer products are strong in pressure resistance, but they can't stand the torture of chewing small melon seeds and walnuts over time. Real teeth can also have hidden cracks, let alone veneers.

Therefore, when veneers are used to repair front teeth, the force of biting should not be too strong, otherwise, there is a possibility of collapse.

Myth 3

Veneers can only last for ten years, not worth it

Many people think that veneers have a shelf life and that they will fall off or become porcelain-stripped after a certain period of time. If you take care of your veneers like you would your real teeth and pay attention to oral hygiene, you can use them forever. Mega Ultra-Thin Porcelain Veneers can even be used for a lifetime, just like your real teeth.

Myth 4

Older people don't need veneers.

Some filial children ask their parents to have veneers repaired, but most parents refuse due to the price. In the eyes of parents, veneers are just to make the teeth look better. In fact, for the sake of health, parents need to repair their teeth better. The older people are, the larger the gaps between their teeth may be due to some living habits. If the gaps are not closed in time, it is easy for the teeth to get stuck, damage the periodontal tissue, cause gingivitis, periodontitis, and even cause loose teeth.
